How to create Http Connection by specifying the client port?

[SYTDeath]

When we create a Http connection using the class "HttpURLConnection", it seems that the client port is selected by system randomly. How can I specify a client port for a Http connection? For example, a client app(192.168.1.100:8000) wants to connect to a URL.

Let me make my problem simple, I create a simple java HttpConnection app to test Http Digest Authentication which needs two registers. First register reqeust sends out from app, and then receives a 401. Then 2nd register with authentication header sends out. But the problem is these two register need the same port on the client side while the system uses different ports each time(two instances of HttpURLConnection). And I don't know how to use one instance of HttpURLConnection to send 2 requests.

I try to use socket class but it still cannot let me specify the port on the client side.

Also, how to specify client port for Http connection in J2ME?

Thanks a lot! & Merry Christmas!

HI

String url = "http://192.168.1.100:8000";
http = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url);
prtMsg(":: Establish the connection ::");
// 1) Send request method Either Get or POST , depends upon your
//application you can use, Suggestion is, use POST method
http.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);
//prtMsg(":: Post ::");
// 2) Send header information - none
// optional thing

Thanks Logesh.k!

But your code is about specified host on specified port. It is not what I am talking about. OK, Let me make my problem simple,

I create a simple java HttpConnection app to test Http Digest Authentication which needs two registers. First register reqeust sends out from app, and then receives a 401. Then 2nd register with authentication header sends out. But the problem is these two register need the same port on the client side while the system uses different ports each time.

It is not possible for client and server connection. you need a specified port for request and response between client and server.

Which means that it is impossible to test Http Digest Authentication registeration using Java networking programming, isn't it?

K,

yes. It is impossible to register the HTTP Digest Authentication registration thru JAva programming. in the Server Side YOu have get the registration prior before request and response.

But I did it anyway
